Volume 1 The Wind and Snow Enter the Purple Terrace Chapter 37 Appreciating Jade
Mu Biwei pressed the emotions in her heart to prevent her expression from turbulent, sat down in the front hall, and asked lightly, "Your Majesty has dispersed?" ”
"If you go back to Tsing Yi, Your Majesty will only arrive at the Xuanshu Palace." Ge Nuo, who was sent to inquire about the news of the court discussion, smiled with joy on his sleeve sleeves, and said courteously, "Your Majesty's Gu Xi servant has seen the slave maid, and the special slave maid is turned into a congratulatory Qingyi - Your Majesty Shengming, General Mercy Mu and General Mu Xiao have been stationed on the border for many years, and the Mu family has been loyal for generations, and now Xue Lan Guan has been lost and recovered, so it should be dealt with lightly......"
Mu Biwei was impatient when she heard him talk about it, and frowned: "You just have to say the result!" ”
"Yes!" Ge Nuo said so, but he still habitually said one more sentence, "Because of the insistence of the prime ministers on the left and right, Your Majesty ordered General Mu to be transferred to the Qingdu Yin, and General Mu Xiao to be appointed as the Sima of the Qingdu, and fined 100 gold as punishment for failure." ”
Hearing this, Mu Bi breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Qi's original position was the general of the left guard, which was the post of the third grade, and the Qingdu was the land of Gyeonggi, and its Yin and the general of the left guard were both the third grade, but they could be regarded as the Beijing officials, Mu Bichuan was only the general of the five grades when he was in the snow blue pass, and now he continues to go to work with Mu Qi, because the Qingdu County belongs to Shangzhou, and his Sima official rank is from the fourth grade, which is equivalent to promotion, as for the confiscated hundred gold, it is the most important - anyway, This time, the Mu family will not be defeated, and the family will break the pillars again!
She clenched her fists vigorously and instructed Diecui, who was also showing joy next to her: "Go and get the brocade box in my room, and you can pick a piece of the jade in it!" ”
When Mu Biwei came over, Diecui didn't know how powerful she was, so she took the opportunity to peek a few times when she was tidying up, but the brocade box was known, and the jade inside was of the highest grade, thinking that Shen Taijun and Xu were preparing her to enter the palace to make friends with other palace concubines, so the ones selected were rare in the market, and they were also excellent seeds in the palace, and the carving was also good. If Tsing Yi is really happy, it is better to give the slaves and maids a purse to play with, and it will be regarded as the blessing of Tsing Yi. ”
Ge Nuo didn't know what was in the brocade box at first, but when he heard Diecui say this, he also knew that it must be a precious thing, so he also echoed and said: "Tsing Yi is a blessed person, and the slaves and maids are lowly, where do you dare to get a heavy reward from Tsing Yi?" ”
"Today's news is very good, I am glad to hear it, since I have been rewarded, how can there be any reason to take it back?" Mu Biwei was rarely sincere and pleasant, and said with a smile, "My father and brother were still in prison when these things were brought into the palace, and now that they have nothing to do, what does it matter if they have fun with you?" Could it be that my pastoral foundation is so thin, and I will be poor if I give a few jade carvings? ”
Seeing that she insisted, Diecui and Ge Nuo thanked them with joy, but Ge Nuo thought of something again and said: "Actually, after the court meeting, Your Majesty left General Mu to talk to General Mu Xiao, and now he is in the Xuanshu Palace, and Nie Shilang is accompanying him. ”
Mu Bi was slightly stunned, and almost sat up, and Diecui hurriedly said: "Ge Nuo, you are dizzy!" Why don't you tell Tsing Yi about such a big event, you have to give Tsing Yi a reward before saying, aren't you serving in the Wind Lotus Courtyard? ”
was reprimanded by her like this, Ge Nuo also felt that the timing of his speech was inappropriate, and explained: "Don't be annoyed by Tsing Yi, it's not that the slave maid is shallow-eyed, and if you don't get Tsing Yi's reward, you don't know how to speak, it's really Fang Xian...... Fang Xianren just saw that the slave maid was going back to the Fenghe Courtyard to pray, and the special envoy stopped the slave and maid, saying that the queen mother had explained, the rules in the palace, the relatives of the people below the concubine were not allowed to visit the palace, and said that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, since His Majesty left General Mu to talk to the little general, he let Tsing Yi and the others go to the Xuan Room to serve...... "The more he said, the more Mu Biwei's face sank, and the lower his voice became, and finally he was almost inaudible.
Diecui was also taken aback, and secretly scolded Ge Nuo for not looking at his eyes, so he would treat it as if he hadn't heard it, and the matter that the Mu family's father and son would still be in the Xuanshu Hall would be hidden, so why should he pour cold water on Mu Bi on this head?
It's just that Mu Biwei's face was gloomy, but she didn't have a seizure, she looked up and thought for a moment, and gradually calmed down, and said lightly: "Since it is the queen mother's intention, then I will wait here, you work hard, pay attention to the news over there in the Xuan room, my father and brother will come to tell me as soon as they come out of the palace!" ”
Ge Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes! ”
When he retreated, Mu Biwei threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground with hatred, his eyes were full of anger, and he was so frightened that Diecui quickly knelt down to intercede for Ge Nuo: "Tsing Yi is angry......
"Don't kneel!" Mu Biwei scolded her suddenly, and Diecui was frightened and maintained a half-kneeling and half-standing posture before remembering that Mu Biwei had said that if she didn't want to fall into the root of the disease, she had to take care of it, so she quickly stood up, Mu Biwei said impatiently, "I'm not annoyed with Ge Nuo, you don't have to worry!" ”
Diecui lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, Mu Bi glanced at her and suddenly said: "I look at the four people in my yard, you are the most clever with him, and you are also a little sincere to him, what's going on?" Are you also a fellow countryman with him? ”
"Gernoy entered the palace a year later than the slave maid, he once inadvertently bumped into the nobleman's servant because of his words, was beaten thirty times, and almost died, then the slave and maid looked at him pitifully and secretly sent him a few times of medicine, and he recognized the slave and maid as his sister." Diecui lowered his hand and said, "The slave and maid are indeed closer to him than the people next to him. ”
Mu Biwei thought about it and said: "So you have good skills in combing your bun, but you have not been able to serve by the nobleman's side, but you came to Tsing Yi, which I am not optimistic about, and it is also related to the nobleman's close attendant?" ”
Diecui hesitated, and saw that Mu Biwei was staring at him tightly, so he had to say: "If you go back to Tsing Yi, that's the case." ”
"I just thought that although you are confused, you can do things quite well, and high-ranking concubines don't look down on you, but ordinary concubines can always serve you, even if you can't be a first-class cronie palace maid, you can also serve in close quarters, why do you only do some irrelevant things in Jique?" Mu Biwei said thoughtfully, "Which noble person did he offend?" ”
"It's Ouyang Zhaoxun from Deyang Palace." Diecui bit her lip and said, if Mu Biwei asked when she came, she would have been punished for kneeling on the broken porcelain, and she wouldn't dare to say it, after all, who knows if Mu Biwei would torture them in exchange for the favor of the Ouyang clan? But with Mu Biwei even daring to brush Tang Longhui's face, Diecui felt that this Tsing Yi should not care about having another Zhaoxun opponent.
"Deyang Palace?" Mu Biwei listened and smiled faintly, "When the prime ministers had not yet entered the palace before, His Majesty asked Eunuch Ruan in front of me where to arrange for me to live, and Eunuch Ruan said that Zuo Zhaoyi had prepared three residences for me to be approved by His Majesty, including the Hanfu Hall of Deyang Palace. ”
Seeing that she was noncommittal, Diecui said worriedly: "Ouyang Zhaoxun's close attendant ...... at the beginning."
Her words were interrupted by Mu Biwei raising her hand, and she said slowly: "I'm not very interested in the dispute between Ge Nuo and Ouyang Zhaoxun's side, and you don't have to tell me!" ”
Hearing this, it seemed that he didn't want to care about it, and Diecui didn't expect Mu Biwei to be a person who was willing to stand up for them, so he nodded and wrote it down, but heard Mu Biwei continue: "Then you are already waiting in Jique?" ”
Diecui shook his head: "Where is Jique Palace so easy to enter?" The slave maid and Ge Nuo both entered the palace because of their poor families, and there is no benefit to take care of the inner bosses, so this errand can be the turn of the slaves and maids, to put it ...... It's still thanks to Sun Guifei's blessing! ”
When she said this, Mu Biwei already understood: "It's also good that you look mediocre, but how did Ge Nuo get in?" ”
"The slave went to beg the people around Zuo Zhaoyi." Diecui groaned, and saw Mu Bi looking at him with a slight smile, so he had to beckon obediently.
Mu Bi glanced at her slightly, and said with a smile: "Looking at the origins of Zuo Zhaoyi and Sun Guifei, how do I think it is more likely for you to ask Sun Guifei?" "The Qu family is from a prestigious family, what kind of good things have you never seen? Don't look at Sun Guifei serving in the palace, the royal Ji family was not qualified to be a prestigious family when he was in the former Wei Dynasty, and besides, the Sun family was just an ordinary palace maid before he was favored, where did he have any qualifications to contact the good things in the palace?
Diecui pursed her lips - she already knew that there was little chance of listening to good words from Mu Biwei, so she would not be disappointed, but said calmly: "When Empress Dowager Gao proposed to set up Zuo Zhaoyi as the queen, it was because Zuo Zhaoyi was virtuous, respectful and humble, and treated her gently and empathetically. ”
Mu Bi pondered slightly, looked at her, and said with a smile: "So, you haven't even been to Hualuo Hall to spread the news these times?" ”
"When the slave maid mentioned Zuo Zhaoyi before, he said that Zuo Zhaoyi is a virtuous person, Tsing Yi doesn't believe it, and the slave and maid have no choice, but the slave maid and Ge Nuo went to Jique Palace together, Zuo Zhaoyi has never looked for the slave and Ge Nuo except for a sentence at the beginning." Even people like Diecui also showed a trace of sincere gratitude when they mentioned the Qu family, but Mu Biwei had always been prejudiced against the daughter of the prestigious family because of the Xu family, and she smiled lazily and said, "Why don't I believe it? It's just that you didn't do anything when you entered Jique before, if Zuo Zhaoyi sent someone to look for you, and asked you to find out some of my preferences and mistakes, would you push it away? ”
Without waiting for Diecui to answer, Mu Biwei shook his head first: "I'm afraid I'm still sorry!" Even though Zuo Zhaoyi is not as favored as Sun Guifei because of her appearance, and not as favored as her concubine, but in the end, she is also the person with the highest position in the palace today, and she is ordered by the Queen Mother to hold the palace power, but she is not favored by the emperor, with the Queen Mother, or the Qu family, Zuo Zhaoyi's status is not moved, is it much better than following me, a female official who is not even a good person? ”
"Tsing Yi Mingjian, the slave has never had such a thought!" Diecui was so frightened that she wanted to kneel down again, but this time Mu Biwei grabbed her arm and forced her to stand and kneel, Mu Bi lowered her head slightly, stared at her eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I said casually, who are you scared to show like this?" ”
Saying that, she let go of her hand, Diecui looked at her ignorantly, but she was worried about whether her knees knelt down or not, and saw that Mu Bi carelessly sorted out Liyun's sideburns, and said, "Fetch a cloak for me, let's go to the Xuanshu Hall first." ”
"But the Queen Mother ......" Diecui's words were stopped by Mu Biwei gouging out her eyes halfway through, and said coldly: "What the Queen Mother said is that you can't see your relatives, and it's not that you can't go to the Xuanshu Hall to serve Your Majesty, I'll wait outside the Xuanshu Palace, can't I?" ”
Diecui said in his heart If you really don't enter the hall before Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan leave, but you don't dare to refute it in front of her, so you have to obediently go and take the cloak.
She didn't know that Mu Biwei really didn't have the heart to provoke the Queen Mother - after all, the affairs of the harem are always the Queen Mother's interference, since Mu Biwei is unwilling to be just a mere female official for the rest of her life, for the sake of the future, how dare she provoke the Queen Mother Gao as rashly as offending Tang Longhui?
And Empress Dowager Gao Tete came to pour herself a basin of cold water at this time, although she was disappointed and slapped in the face, and by extrapolation, it can also prove that Ji Shen is indeed interested in herself now, no matter how long she can make him obsessed, since she has determined this, if she doesn't take the opportunity to plan carefully, she has been fighting with Xu Shi Ming in vain for so many years.
